" I had high hopes for E'Njoni Cafe after hearing so much about it. While the food was good, it overall felt a bit overpriced for yield. The atmosphere was lovely and cozy, perfect for intimate gatherings. Would I return? Possibly, but next time I might be more particular in my ordering to ensure what I get is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite dining experience. The food was decent and had its good moments, but it didn’t leave a lasting impact. The inconsistencies with the portion size also led to a feeling of being underwhelmed as compared to the other Ethiopian restaurants we've visited. The atmosphere is charming, but the overall experience was lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" The satisfaction we received from the food at E'Njoni Cafe didn't match our expectations. While we enjoyed the variety, some of the dishes were lacking in that punch of flavor we sought. Service fluctuated during our visit, leaving a bit to be desired in attentiveness. While it was a good experience overall, we hope for more in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience with Ethiopian cuisine, and I was absolutely blown away! The atmosphere made me feel completely at home, and the food was a wonderful assortment of flavors. I ordered the veggie platter for two, and it was ample enough for us to share, with each dish distinctly flavored. The cultural details in the decor added to the charm. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to E'Njoni Cafe expecting a fantastic Ethiopian experience, and I’ll admit I was pretty pleased. The injuries were great as the main element, but the dishes varied a bit – some were excellent while others were average, which is surprising for a place known for its authenticity. The waitstaff was friendly but it might take a while to be served during busy times. Overall, a good place to experience Ethiopian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to E'Njoni Cafe! What a fantastic find in Portland! The chef prepared our food with such care. We ordered a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, making it a fun dining experience. The portions were decent, although I could see how some may want more. Overall, I loved the cultural experience and can't wait to try more on the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I came here during one of our date nights, and we were very pleased. The honey wine was outstanding, and we were able to savor different textures and flavors with the dish we ordered. I enjoyed the communal style of eating – it made me feel connected to the experience. However, I think we could’ve had bigger portions, especially for sharing. Overall, it was a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
